Hi there,
I just come across this old post. I solve this problem in a slightly
different way. With all the same *.mobile views ready, I just explicitly
use ".mobile" extension name as my visiting url, such as
http://.../app/controller/action.mobile, therefore I don't need those "if
is_mobile" code snippet in my every controller functions.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Ray
